Worksop West, Shireoaks & Rhodesia

Worksop West, Shireoaks & Rhodesia covers the western fringe of Worksop town together with the village of Shireoaks and the Rhodesia neighbourhood. The ward mixes residential streets, pockets of open land and traces of former mining infrastructure; former pit sites and rows of miners’ terraces remain part of the street pattern. Shireoaks Lake sits beside the village and is used for angling and sailing, giving the area an open-water focus that contrasts with suburban housing. Local shops and primary schools serve day-to-day needs.

Community life centres on small halls, village clubs and practical services rather than tourist facilities. The ward sits within Bassetlaw district administration and has transport connections into the wider town, including access toward the rail terminus at Worksop. Planning and investment have recently repurposed some former industrial land for housing and recreation, while tree-lined streets and riverside corridors provide the main green links through the neighbourhood.
